Explanation:

During the Texas Revolution, Free African Americans were allowed to fight for the Texan cause against the Mexican government and when they did they proved their mantle in battles such as the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of Gonzales.

After Texas won their independence however, they barred free African-Americans from living in Texas unless they had permission to do so from the Texan Congress. The logic was that seeing free Blacks would inspire enslaved black people to want to be free as well.
